The sun exploded on On April 18, 2112 in a Class X solar storm the likes of which humankind had never seen.They had exactly nineteen minutes to decide what to do next.They had nineteen minutes until a geomagnetic wave washed over the Earth, frying every electrical device created by humans, blacking out entire continents, and every satellite in their sky.Nineteen minutes to say goodbye to the world they knew, forever, and to prepare for a new Earth, a new Sun.
Generations after solar storms destroyed nearly all human technology on Earth, humans reverted to a middle ages-like existence, books are burned as heresy, and all knowledge of the remaining technology is kept hidden by a privileged few called the Reticents.Alana, a disfigured slave girl, and Recks, a traveling minstrel and sometimes-thief, join forces to bring knowledge and books back to the human race. But when Alana is chosen against her will to be the Vessel, the living repository for all human knowledge, she must find the strength to be what the world needs even if it's the last thing she wants.

Lisa, like most writers, began scribbling silly notes, stories, and poems at a very young age. Born in North Carolina, the South proved fertile ground to her imagination with its beautiful white sand beaches and red earth. In fifth grade, she wrote, directed and starred in a play "The Queen of the Nile" at school, despite the fact that she is decidedly un-Egyptian looking. Perhaps that's why she went on to become a real life archaeologist?Unexpectedly transplanted to Idaho as a teenager, Lisa learned to love the desert and the wide open skies out West. This is where her interest in cultures, both ancient and living, really took root, and she became a Great Basin archaeologist. However, the itch to write never did leave for long. Her first books became the middle grade fantasy trilogy, The Storyteller Series. Her first traditionally published work, Hush Puppy, is now available from Featherweight Press.Lisa still lives in Idaho with her family and a menagerie of furry critters that includes way too many llamas!

It's a nice one. I love the cover!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI like the color of the cover (purple is the new thing! It's so fabulous!) but I kinda question the REALLY big face of a girl there when the blurb is all about science-fiction stuff/post-apocalyptic stuff. Not sure I'll read this too, the blurb feels a little over the place. But I seriously love the colors nonetheless XD

Yeah a lot of covers are purple these days and I love it :) It seems a bit confusing to me xD Thanks, Faye :)
IzbrišiPurple used to be my favourite before red won me over, so I'm already on board with this cover's colour scheme. I like the way that the city fades into the background, but the girl's eyes are kinda freaky. Thanks for sharing!
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt's hard to resist purple :) Thanks, Carmel :)
IzbrišiOoh purple! I love purple! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for sharing, Tanja, This sounds really cool.
Glad you like it, Nick :)
IzbrišiSuper pretty!!!! I'm with Nick, I love the color on this one. Monochromatic covers always catch my eye. Thanks for letting me know about this one Tanja!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad you like it, Jenny :)
IzbrišiPretty colors on this one!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI like the purples!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThat's a eye catching cover. The story sounds exciting as well. Thanks for sharing, Tanja! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad you like it, Rachel :)
IzbrišiNice cover and the synopsis has me intrigued. Thanks Tanja!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGlad you like it, Kim :)
IzbrišiI'm not sure I've ever heard of solar storms...? :P That girl's eyes are so pretty. *.* But it's kinda cheesy that that boy's looking at her...kinda.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI haven't either but I'm curious now :)
IzbrišiI don't really understand the cover, but that may be because I haven't read the blurb yet. I mean why is the guy looking towards the girl and the words VESSEL there? Perhaps I will answer my own question by reading the blurb :P
